PREFACE

In preparing this history, I have been ably assisted
by Ideut. Col. Eben F. Stanwood, Hon. E. J.
Sherman and the notes prepared by the late Wm. H.
Bartlett. To these sarviving comrades, I extend my
warmest thanks.

INTRODUCTORY

I have undertaken to write a history of the Foity-
eighth Eegiment, Massachusetts Volunteers, in the Civil
War in diary form from the commencement to the
close of the service. Undoubtedly much more might
have been written giving many interesting particulars
concerning the different companies and incidents re-
lating to individual members of those companies, but
I have thought best to write a modest, true and valu-
able presentation of the main features of the services
rendered by the regiment to the Government. It is not
an easy task to write such a history as will please
everybody. I hope my efforts will be reasonably and
charitably considered by my comrades.

ALBEET PLUMMEB, Historian.

FORTY- EIGHTH REGIMENT M. V. M.

Few men in the North previous to April 12, 1861,
thought that the men of the South would be so rash as
to precipitate a war between the two sections, and when
on that day the news flashed over the wires that the
Southern fire-eaters had fired upon Fort Stunter, and
that the national ensign had been pulled down, a great
wave of horror and indignation swept over the land. A
call for 75,000 men for three months' service was issued
by President Lincoln on the fifteenth day of April,
1861.

Many persons who considered themselves wise, pro-
nounced the number too great, and to most people it did
seem to be a vast army — three times greater than the
whole regular army previous to that time. But little
actual fighting was done by the regiments furnished
under this call, hut subsequently other calls were made
for volunteers to serve for three years or during the
war.

On August 4, 1863, President Lincoln issued orders
for a draft of 300,000 men for nine months' service, but
leave was granted to Governor Andrew to fill the quota
of Massachusetts by volunteers, and it was in answer to
this call that the men who later became the 48tb

8 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

Massachusetts Infantry were recruited. It was the
intention (and great efforts were made by the gentle-
men interested in its formation) to make this an ex-
clusively Essex County regiment, but the exigencies of
the war made it imperative that all regiments in process
of formation should be immediately sent to the front,
and for this reason several partially formed regiments
were consolidated, and sent forward.

The regiments sent from Massachusetts under this
call were designated as follows: —

3d, Col. Silas Kichmond; 4th, Col. Henry Walker;
6th, Col. George H. Pierson; 6th, Col. Albert Fol-
lansbee; 8th, Col. Frederick J. Coffin; 42d, Col. Isaac
S. Burrill; 43d, Col. Charles S. Holbrook; 44th, Col.
Francis L. Lee; 45th, Col. Charles B. Codman; 46th,
Col. George Bowler; 47th, Col. Lucius B. Marsh; 48th,
Col. Eben F. Stone; 49th, Col. William F. Bartlett;
50th, Col. Carlos P. Messer; 51st, Col. Augustus B. R.
Sprague; 52d, Col. Halbert S. Greenleaf; 53d, Col.
John W. Kimball, and the 11th Battery, Capt. Edward
J. Jones, which was the only battery of nine months'
men raised in the Commonwealth.

Of these regiments, the 3d, 5th, 6th, 8th, 43d, 44th,
45th, 46th, and 51st, served their time on the Eastern
coast; the 4th, 42d, 47th, 48th, 49th, 50th, 52d, and
63d served in the Army of the Gulf, on the Mississippi
Eiver; the 11th Battery served in the Army of the
Potomac.

During the month of September, 1862, the men being
recruited for the Essex County regiment began to
rendezvous in "Camp Lander," Wenham, Mass., and
the Hon. Eben F. Stone, a prominent lawyer of New-
buryport, was appointed "Commandant of Camp."

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 9

Barracks had been provided for two or more regi-
ments, wells sunk, and every arrangement made for the
comfort of the men, several partially formed companies
of which came into camp during the month and were
mustered into the U. S. service as soon as they were
recruited to a minimum number.

Not much of special importance occurred to disturb
the regular routine of camp life while here, the days
being spent in actively drilling and becoming acquainted
with the duties of a soldier; but occasionally some
little break would be made in the monotony of camp
life; it seems that there had grown up a feeling
of jealousy among some of the officers of another regi-
ment in the camp, because Mr. Stone had been
appointed Commandant of Camp from civil life, and
without previous military training, when there were
other officers in camp who had had such training in the
Volunteer Militia, and on October 24 the dissatisfaction
culminated in an assault upon Capt. Stone's head-
quarters with bricks and other missiles, and for a time
matters assumed rather a warlike aspect, but finally
settled down with but very little bloodshed.

The quota of Massachusetts under this call was
19,090 men. The great numbers already in the field
and the fact that the last previous call of July 2, for
300,000 men for three years' service had not been
entirely filled, made it more difficult to secure these
additional men but the officers worked with a will, and
soon no doubt was felt that the object would be attained,
and the call promptly answered. The first company to
secure the requisite number of recruits was the company
from Newburyport under command of Capt. Stone,
which was mustered September 16, and from that time

10 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

forward companies were mustered as they obtained the
requisite number of men, until about November 1, when
there were about 750 men in camp, distributed in eight
different companies.

On the day previous to Thanksgiving Day the several
companies were furloughed to go home to spend
Thanksgiving, to report again in camp Saturday morn-
ing; only one company reported in accordance with
orders, and as no other company put in an appearance,
the Captain gave his men leave to return home, but to
report again Monday morning, which they did, as did
the other companies, only to feel a little chagrined to
jSnd that Adjt. Gen. Schouler, with a part of hiw staff,
had visited the camp on Sunday, and was very angry to
find the camp deserted by all but one Lieutenant and
just enough men for camp guard. His remarks were
reported to have been very forcible, succinct and pithy,
the air was said to have been lurid.

He said, "By God ! I'll send this regiment South or
to Hell \" and the men concluded that they hadn't much
preference as to the two locations. As a compromise
between, the regiment was ordered to move to Camp
Meigs, at Beadville, Mass., forthwith; but expecting to
be sent to one of the aforementioned places later on.

December 4, the regiment broke camp at Wenham
and left for Camp Meigs. While marching through
Boston at the intersection of Washington and Boylston
Streets, the two companies from Lawrence, commanded
respectively by Capts. Colby and Rollins left, being
transferred to the 4th Eegiment which had been
recruiting at Lakeville, Mass., thus filling up that regi-
ment, and the unorganized 5oth Irish Regiment, which
had been also recruiting at Lakeville was brought to

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 11

Eeadville, and merged with the remaining six com-
panies from Wenham, which completed the organization
of this regiment, thus disposing of all expectation of an
Essex County regiment.

All the officers of the Wenham companies petitioned
the Governor to allow the Lawrence companies to re-
main as formerly connected. They were a fine body of
men and officers, and, being in the same camp together
80 long, a strong attachment had sprung up between the
different companies; but the request was denied. The
men and officers in the Irish regiment were also much
dissatisfied, and there were a great many desertions,
which (it was said) were encouraged by their officers;
a large number of the latter resigned and others were
summarily discharged. They had volunteered with the
understanding that they were to form an Irish regi-
ment, and they were very indignant that that arrang&-
ment was not carried out.

The accession of these new men having given the
regiment the necessary number of men, on December
6 an election for field officers was held, and the regi-
ment became the 48th Begiment of Massachusetts In-
fantry.

Capt. Eben F. Stone of Newburyport was elected
Colonel, Mr. James O'Brien of Charlestown was elected
Lieutenant-Colonel, and Capt. George Wheatland of
Salem was elected Major.

The companies were designated as follows: — Co. A,
from Newburyport and vicinity; Co. B, from West
Newbury and vicinity; Co. C, from Salisbury and
Ticinity; Co. D, from Newbury and vicinity; Co. E,
from Salem and vicinity; Co. F, at large; Co. G, at

large; Co. H, from Lowell; Co. I, at large; Co. K, at
large.

The line officers were as follows: — Co. A, Capt.
Woodward, Lieuts. Lawrie and Morrison; Co. B, Capt.
Stanwood, Lieuts. EoUins and Merrill; Co. C, Capt.
Pettengill, Lieuts. Currier and Schoff; Co. D, Capt.
Noyes, Lieuts. Lord and Wilson; Co. E, Capt. Howes,
Lieuts. Sanders and Lee; Co. F, Capt. Sherman,
Lieuts. Noyes and Burnett; Co. G, Captain (vacant),
Lieuts. Eudderham and O'Brien; Co. H, Capt. Rogers,
Lieuts. Frawley and Maginness; Co. I, Capt. McGuire,
Lieuts. Smith and Beade; Co. K, Capt. Todd, Lieuts.
Clark and Bellen.

December 23. Capt. McGuire of Co. I was discharged
and on the 26th Lieut. Smith was promoted to fill the
vacancy. This evening Edward Galligher of Co. H was
shot dead by Lieut. Lord of Co. D, Provost Marshal,
while drunk and disorderly, resisting arrest and assault-
ing the Marshal.

The regiment remained in Camp Meigs until Decem-
ber 27 actively drilling and the raw recruits getting
whipped into shape for active duty in the field, but this
morning orders were received to break camp and leave

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 13

for New York and the South (or the other place previ-
ously alluded to) and the regiment left at an hour's
notice, proceeding by rail to Groton, Conn., where they
went on board the Sound steamer for New York arriv-
ing there at an early hour in the morning of the 38th
and going at once on board the "Constellation," an old
sailing vessel, just arrived from Europe with a load of
immigrants. It had not been properly cleansed and
was very foul and dirty; but it is a soldier's duty to
bear with all sorts of inconveniences, and we soon
learned to accept them without an undue amount of
grumbling. There was no chance for a fire on board
except in the first cabin, consequently the line officers,
who occupied the second cabin, and the enlisted men
who were quartered between decks, suffered considerably
with the cold, but we were consoled with the thought
that if we were destined for either of the places
threatened by Gen. Schouler we should not be likely to
grumble on account of cold weather.

Friday, January 2, got under way at 12.30 P. M.,
being towed out by tug "Eattler," which cast off and
left us at 4.15, taking ashore a large mail for friends left
at home.

January 8 we arrived off the mouth of Chesapeake
Bay with little of special importance transpiring.
Pilot came on board at 9.30 A. M. and we passed up the
bay where we found many of the fleet composing the
"Banks Expedition" of which we now find the 48th
is a part, and came to anchor just below and near
Fortress Monroe where we remained till January 15,
when under sailing orders the tug hitched on again and
we sailed away South at 2.30 P. M. in a gale of wind.

14 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

Thfi voyage South lasted until the 30th day of January
during which the deadly- ship fever (the surgeons call
it "Purpura") broke out on board and several of our
men died from its effects and received a soldier's burial
at sea.

It is a sad sight to see the poor fellows launched into
the deep dark waves, while their comrades stand nigh
with anxious tearful faces. The fever increasing rap-
idly the men all came upon deck, the hatches battened
down and the ship thoroughly fumigated.

The following letter is self-explanatory:

On board Ship "Constellation,"
in Gulf of Mexico,

January 24, 1863.

My dear Madam: — I have sad news to communicate.
Your son is no more on this earth. He was taken ill
last Wednesday, and, in less than twenty-four hours,
he was a corpse. He died at four o'clock P. M., on
Thursday and was buried at sunset in the Gulf Stream
off coast of Florida, Latitude 25, Longitude 20 west.

Let me assure you that everything possible was done
for him, by his comrades and our good surgeon. Dr.
Hurd, to save him from ravages of ship-fever, but all
our efforts were in vain. The light of his youthful
countenance has gone out forever.

What can I say to you, his good mother, who gave
her only son an offering upon the altar of our common
country ?

A fond mother will desire the sad details, his last
acts and words. An hour before he died, I told him
the doctor feared he could not live. He seemed to be
fully aware of his condition, and, turning his head

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 15

toward me he said, "Tell mother I should rather have
died fighting the battles of my country, but God's will
be done." Very soon he drew his blanket over him and
ealmly sank into the arms of death, like one "who
wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies
down to pleasant dreams."

His last thoughts were of his mother and he died
Umenting only his inability to do more for his country.

He was a mere boy in age and looks but he had the
judgment of an older patriot.

There are many creeds which will tell you that your
son has not gone to happiness or Heaven. He lived
an honest life, but died according to those creeds "un-
converted."

"The upright, honest-hearted man,
Who strives to do the best he can.

Need never fear the Church's ban
Or Hell's damnation;

For God will need no special plan,
For His salvation."

He died full of faith and hope, with a belief
that he had done his whole duty to his coun-
try and his God. And I believe, in the lan-
guage of the Mayor of our goodly city, "He was
a soldier in a good c^use, and at the command of
the Supreme Governor, he has laid down his arms and
gone up higher. Watchworn and weary, he has laid
his armor off and rests in Heaven. The everlasting
gates of fame have lifted up their heads and he has
passed through to imperishable renown. The portals
of history have been thrown wide open and he has
marched in a hero."

16 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

Think then of your darling boy, not as dead but as
having gone over to the majority in Heaven,

Permit me, my dear madam, to mingle my tears in
sympathy with yours in this hour of your great
affliction. May God bless and comfort you, I am.
Sincerely your friend,
BDGAE J. SHERMAN, Captain.

Captain Sherman, after returning home, was met by
the clergyman who ofiBciated at the funeral of the
young soldier, who said, "Captain, I read your
letter at the funeral, and I do not think there
was a dry eye in the audience." "But," said the
Captain, "did you not regard the poetry as hereti-
cal?" "You were fully justified," said the clergy-
man, "in writing anything you could to comfort
that poor heart-broken mother. But who knows that
he died unconverted? Were not his last words, 'God's
will be done?'"

In passing Cape Hatteras we experienced a fierce
storm, but the old ship floundered safely along through
the boiling sea with but little serious damage. The vio-
lent motion of the ship and the corresponding and
sympathetic motion of our stomachs reminded us forci-
bly of the old bass aria in Haydn's Oratorio of "The
Creation," "Boiling in foaming billows uplifted roars
the boisterous sea." Except these and a few minor
incidents the voyage was uneventful.

The vacancy in Captain's office in Co. Q was filled
on January 15 by appointment of Lieut. Schoff to that
company as Captain.

On looking at the map of the United States we ob-
eerve that the State of Louisiana lies on both sides of

the Mississippi Biver and that the States of Arkansas
and Mississippi lay on the light and left hanks of that
great stream, 500 miles of whose lower course was thus
controlled during the first year of the Civil War by
those three States unitedly inhabited by hardly as
many white people as the city of New York.

If we observe then the course drained by that river
and its tributaries, commencing with Missouri on its
right bank and Kentucky on its left bank, we find it
to consist of eight or nine large States, large portionfi
of three or four others, and several large Territories,
in aU a country as large as Europe, as fine as any un-
der the sun, holding at the commencement of the war
more people than all the revolted States and destined
to become one of the most populous and powerful re-
gions on the face of the globe.

If any at the opening of the war supposed that those
powerful States, comprising a great and energetic pop-
ulation, would ever consent to a peace that would put
the lower course of that great national outlet to the sea
in the hands of a foreign power far weaker than them-
selves, they were blind indeed to the lessons of history.

The people of Kentucky alone before they were con-
stituted a State gave formal notice to the Federal Gov-
ernment that if the United States did not conquer
Louisiana they would conquer it themselves. In the
words of a distinguished citizen of that martial State:
"The mouths of the Mississippi belong by the gift of
God to the inhabitants of its great valley. Nothing
but irresistible force can disinherit them."

Akin to this was the feeling of the men of the North-
west at the outbreak of the Civil War. With them
the opening of the Mississippi was an absorbing passion

18 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

and they entered on that enterprise with alacrity and
with a grim determination not to cease from their ef-
forts until that great river which forms a part of the
life and very existence of the West should be repos-
sessed, and the insulted ensign of the Eepublic planted
on the last battlements of the Eebellion.

By the Summer of 1863, after many a bloody fight
on the river and on the land, they had reached Vicks-
burg, and Grant had drawn his lines of investment
around that stronghold. Meantime their brethren of
the East had ascended the river from its mouth and
had taken possession of all the rebel defences on the
lower Mississippi. Subsequently Farragut, being away
on the Gulf coast, the rebels seized the opportunity to
fortify and garrison Port Hudson, in Louisiana. There
remained then at the opening of the Summer of '63
these two strongholds, Vicksburg and Port Hudson,
the retention of which was necessary to the Confeder-
ates if they would maintain their hold on the Missis-
sippi.

Both parties to the struggle realized the importance
of these positions. Jefferson Davis, while on a visit to
Mississippi to inspect the defences of Vicksburg, spoke
as follows in a speech at Jackson before the Mississippi
Legislature: "Vicksburg and Port Hudson are the
real points of attack. Every effort wili be made to cap-
ture these places with the object of forcing the naviga-
tion of the Mississippi and severing the eastern from
the western portion of the Confederacy. Let all then
who have at heart the welfare and safety of the coun-
try go without delay to Vicksburg and Port Hudson.
Let them go for thirty or sixty or ninety days. Let
them assist in preserving the Mississippi River, that

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 19

great artery of our country, and thus conduce more
than in any other way to the perpetuation of the Con-
federacy and the Buecess of our cause."

Most people probably have a tolerably clear idea of
Grant's campaign against Vicksburg. As the history
of the 48th Eegiment is inseparably connected with
the siege and capture of Port Hudson, it is proper that
at this point some description of that place and its
defences should be given.

Port Hudson is situated on a bend on the eastern
side of the Mississippi about twenty-two miles north
of Baton Rouge, and 147 miles from New Orleans. It
is 300 miles below Vicksburg. The bluff rising abruptly
some forty feet above the surface of the river was cov-
ered with fortifications for a space of nearly four
miles, constructed upon the most scientific principles
of military art and armed with the heaviest and most
approved guns which England could furnish the Con-
federates.

The river as it approaches the bend suddenly nar-
rows and the current striking the west bank is tlirown
across with great velocity and carries the channel al-
most directly under the precipitous cliffs. Any vessel
attempting the passage would be compelled to run the
gauntlet of a plunging fire from the batteries which
commanded the river for several miles above and below.
Thus it will be seen that on the river side the position
was so fortified by nature and art that it was practically
impregnable.

On the land side it was scarcely less so. There it
was protected by a high parapet extending some seven
or eight miles in a semi-circle from river to river, in
front of which was a ditch from ten to twelve feet wide

20 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

and six feet deep. Along nearly the whole line in
front of this ditch and extending from half a mile to
a mile from it was formerly a heavy growth of timber.
This had all been cut down; so that in every direction
the fallen tops of trees interlaced, trunks blocked up
every passage and brambles were growing over the
whole. Moreover, the space where this forest had
stood was cut up in every direction by gullies and
ravines, all containing more or less fallen timber.
Under favorable circumstances, that is with a good
supply of ammunition and provisions, and a garrison
of 20,000 men. Port Hudson could have resisted any
force that could have been brought against it.

The task of taking this stronghold fell to the lot of
the Army of the Gidf, consisting mainly of the 19th
Army Corps, to which the 48th M. V. M. was at-
tached.

Two o'clock in the morning of Jan. 30, 1863. The
old ship Constellation, bearing the 48th Eegiment, is
lying off the southwest pass of the Mississippi River
and is throwing up rockets as a signal for a pilot.
Presently a tug comes steaming out from the river and
as daylight is breaking we leave the muddy waters of
the gulf behind us, not, however,' without the assistance
of a second powerful tug to take us over the bar, and
enter the still muddier waters of the Mississippi. For
some miles the river presents no objects of interest.
Low marshy shores covered with coarse sedges, fit
haunts for alligators and other venomous reptiles — in
all about as uninviting a place as can well be imagined.
Towards noon, we reach the famous Forts Jackson and
St. Philip, one of which gives us a salute as we pass.

They were occupied at this time by the 26th Massa-

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 21

chusetts Regiment who cheered us lustily as we passed.
At 9 o'clock A. M., January 31, arrived at quarantine
where the ship was boarded by the health ofiBcer, who
discovered no reason to detain us, although so very
recently having been scourged by the, ship fever, and he
declared us "all right" and gave us a clean bill.

The only evidence of the desperate fight of the year
before when Farragut run the gauntlet of these forts
are the remnants of several rebel gunboats which were
destroyed during the fight and driven as high as possi-
ble on the blanks of the river, and the Union sloop-of-
war Varuna, which lay on the bottom of this river with
only the tops of her masts out of water. After passing
the forts, as we approach New Orleans the country be-
comes somewhat more interesting. We pass some fine
plantations with stately mansions, large sugar houses
and long rows of cabins, the habitations of the blacks.
Much of the way we run close to the bank and as we
turn bend after bend in the river we are tantalized by
the sight of orange groves laden with the luscious fruit
— so near and yet so far. We see very few white men.
Most of them have doubtless gone into the rebel army.
Now and then a planter standing on the bank gazes at
us sullenly as we pass. It seemed evident that they
were not over-pLeased to see us. Our only welcome was
from the negroes. Their shouts from the levee, accom-
panied by laughter and frantic gesticulations, bespoke
their joy. One white man, bolder than his fellows,
shouted the inquiry: ''What regiment is that?" and be-
ing informed he imparted the cheerful information
that we had come all the way from Massachusetts to
find our graves — a prophecy which proved true of
many a boy on board that ship.

22 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

February 1, Sunday, at 3 A. M., we reached New
Orleans and anchored opposite the central part of the
city, where we remained during the next day.
Looking at New Orleans at that time, it was hard
to realize that Just previous to the opening of
the war it had the largest export trade of any city
in the world. Its stores closed, its fine business
blocks deserted, its levee which had once groaned
with the burden of a great commerce empty and deso-
late, the great metropolis of the Southwest lying under
the guns of our ships of war was a mute but vivid wit-
ness of the folly of rebellion.

Leaving New Orleans on the 3rd at 11.45 A. M. we
proceeded up the river. Above New Orleans the deso-
lation became more marked. War had written his
autograph over the whole face of the country. Crops
of sugar cane which should have yielded thousands of
pounds of sugar were still standing in February, when
they should have been gathered months before. No
hope of saving them, for the frost had been at work
upon them. Moreover, the planter's negroes had left
him, his horses had been stolen, his mules and teams
confiscated by the Government. Defiant amid the gen-
eral wreck, the planters were said to be bitterly cursing
President Lincoln and praying for the destruction of
the Union armies.

The village of Donaldson, the first place of impor-
tance above New Orleans, presented a sorry sight. Its
inhabitants had had the bad habit of fij-ing on our
weaker steamers as they passed up and down the river.
Farragut bore the outrage until forbearance ceased to
be a virtue, and then assured the people that if the out-
rage were again repeated he would shell the town. It

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 23

was again committed and Farragut, true to his word,
bombarded the place until only about half of the orig-
inal town was left.

Approaching Baton Eouge, 125 miles above New
Orleans, on the morning of the 4th, the first thing that
attracted our attention was the ruined Capitol of the
State, grim and ghastly in the morning light. This
fine building was fired when our forces took possession
of the town, by whom will never be known. The rebels
diarged the Unionists with doing the deed when they
entered the place, and the Unionists as stoutly asserted
that it was the last act of the rebels before leaving.
The magnificent library, fine furniture and works of
art were all destroyed. Only Powers' statue of Wash-
ington, the work of Northern genius, was rescued from
the flames.

Our steamer drew up to the levee at Baton Eouge
just as the sweet notes of the reveille were sounding
from camp to camp, bugles echoing bugles, fifes war-
bling, drums beating, while here and there from a dis-
tant camp came the rich swell of a full band.

It was with the greatest delight that we disembarked,
for we had already learned what it was to suffer. Con-
fined for six weeks on an old hulk for which the Gov-
ernment was paying more every week than the ship
was worth, we had not escaped the ravages of disease.
The transport on which we had made the trip from
New York had formerly been an emigrant ship. The
seeds of disease were lurking in her timbers. While
we were on the Atlantic a fatal disease — a spotted
fever — ^broke out, and in a few days several of our boys
had fallen victims and were consigned to a watery
grave.

And now once again on terra finna our spirits rose
accordingly, and there was a general feeling of hopeful-
ness and cheer in our ranks as we marched over the
blufE to a plain about two miles from the village, where
we pitched our tents on a spot which was to be our
home for several weeks. Our camping ground had once
been occupied by the rebels for the same purpore. It
was a part of the field on which the battle of the pre-
vious year had been fought. The trees in the vicinity
still showed the efEeets of the shot and fragments of
shell, the bones of animals and soldiers' graves showed
that our troops had gained no bloodless victory.

Picket duty, guard duty, and the routine of driU was
our life for several weeks. The battlefield with its
terrors had thus far kept aloof but we were brought
face to face with a chapter of army life hardly less sad.

Though Baton Rouge and the country northward is
much more healthful than the fever level below, still
there is no place in all that region where one can lead
the exposed life of a soldier with impunity. Many of
our most rugged men yielded to the fatal miasm with
which the night air is laden, and those who had never
known a day's sickness in their lives went daily at the
surgeon's call to get their dose of quinine. Death came
and mustered out many. Funerals were of daily occur-
rence and sometimes it seemed of almost hourly oc-
currence. The notes of the dead march, the sad, sad
wailing of the fife, the mournful throb of the muffled
drum, the march with downcast eyes and arms reversed,
the parting volley above the grave, and then the return
march, quick time, arms at the right shoulder, fifes
warbling like birds in springtime, and drums beating
merrily — these sights and sounds were far too common.

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 25

Our sojourn at Baton Rouge was a period of waiting
expectancy. We were learning that to wait is one of
the chief duties of a soldier as it is indeed one of the
the most irksome.

On February 5 the regiment reeeived a few old "Sib-
ley" tents, a lot which had been left behind by some
departing regiment. They were musty old things, but
some of the boys went into them until our new ones,
which we are entitled to, should arrive. Today the
48th was brigaded with the 116th New York, the 21st
Maine and the 49th Massachusetts, constituting the
1st Brigade, 1st Division, 19th Army Corps, with
Maj.-Gen. C. C. Augur — a regular army ofiBcer — in
command of the Division; Col. E. P. Chapin of the
116th New York (Senior Colonel) in command of the
Brigade, and Maj.-Gen. N. P. Banks in command of
the Department, which was designated as the "Depart-
ment of the Gulf," and on February 6 muskets and
ammunition were dealt out and we then for the first
time considered ourselves full-fledged soldiers of
"Uncle Sam."

On March 11 there was a grand review of the troops
then at Baton Rouge. The sight of 20,000 well-drilled
troops, infantry, cavalry, and artillery is no ordinary
spectacle. Banks on his coal-black stallion with his
Division and Brigade Commanders made a distinguished
appearance, but the writer recalls that his interest cen-
tered chiefly in Farragut who with the Captains of the
fleet had been invited to witness the parade.

At length on March 12 at 9 P. M. an order came to
have twenty-four hours cooked rations and forty
rounds of ammunition and be ready to march

26 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

at a moment's notice. At daybreak the next morn-
ing we marched to the levee at Baton Bouge where we
embarked on board a steamer and sailed slowly up the
river. Another regiment accompanied us and two com-
panies of cavalry. We had started on a reeonnaispance.
We were convoyed by the famous gunboat Essex which
kept a half a mile ahead of us and occasionally threw a
shell into the woods along the shore. We disembarked
a few miles below Port Hudson under cover of th? guns
of the Essex. The road leading to the bluff a distance
of a quarter of a mile from the river, swollen by the
spring freshets, was entirely under water, in some places
reaching nearly to the waists of the shorter men.
Wading through this the order of march was formed
upon the bluff. The cavalry went ahead, filling the
road and stretching out over the fields on either side.
We approached within a few miles of the Confederate
works and drove in their pickets who left their posts
so rapidly as to leave their cooking utensils lying near
the smouldering embers of the fire where they had
cooked their morning meal. Presently we came upon a
company of guerillas who fled to the woods, all but one
young fellow who was captured. At about noon, hot,
tired and thirsty, we halted for a brief rest at a planta-
tion some sixteen miles from Baton Eouge and 1 doubt
if at any time or place during the great conflict the
confiscation law was more vigorously and thoroughly
enforced. Within a few minutes after our arrival the
feathered inhabitants of the plantation had nothing
further to say. Our march from this place to Baton
Rouge was a rapid one. We were within a short dis-
tance of a comparatively large and powerful army of
the enemy and it was quite within the bounds of pos-

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 27

sibility that a force might be sent out to fall upon us
before we could reach our camp. But the reconnais-
Bance on the whole was a success. The road was clear
of rebels and about five miles from Baton Eouge where
the Montecino Bayou crosses the road we met the
division of General Curvier Grover fresh from their
camp at Baton Eouge. No one who witnessed those
regiments of infantry and cavalry and the fine batteries
accompanying them as they crossed the pontoon bridge
and came springing up the hillside, and with their gun-
barrels glistening in the rays of the setting sun disap-
peared from view on the winding road ahead will ever
lose the impression there gained.

We reached our camp at Baton Bouge at about
9 o'clock. Most of us were footsore and all were
weary, and creeping into our tents we were just
settling down to a good night's rest when down
from headquarters came an order to march at 3
the next morning. So in the early morning we fell
in each heavily laden with knapsack, a full supply of
cartridges and two days' rations, and started on the road
over which we had come the previous day. The morn-
ing was cool, the road in good order, trees just budding
out and festooned with vines and moss. On the whole
we enjoyed the scenery of the Southern forest road and
the fresh morning air. Neither the heavy burdens nor
the blistered feet caused by yesterday's weary march
could wholly repress our enthusiasm, ignorant as we
were of campaign life and eager for a change. But as
we got out into the open country and old Sol rising
higher and higher got in his work upon us our burdens
seemed heavier and heavier every moment and every
step was an agony. With rout step and arms at will, on.

28 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

on we plodded through clouds of dust. No wonder that
some of the boys sank by the side of the road exhausted,
only to come up late in the evening after the regiment
had bivouacked. But the longest day and the weariest
march must have an end and as the shades of night
were falling we halted at a corn field where, after a
hasty meal, we bivouacked for the night. With knap-
sacks for pillows and the starry heavens for canopy we
lay along the ridges of the com field and tired Nature's
sweet restorer, balmy sleep, soon came to our relief.

The writer remembers being hastily awakened after a
few hours sleep by the comrade by his side who said,
"Look up over the trees!" and there we could easily
trace the course of the shells from Farragut's mortar
boats and could hear their dull, explosive thud as they
fell inside the works at Port Hudson. But even that
display of fireworks interested us but for a moment.
Soon we were again sleeping soundly unconscious of the
tumult on the river. Shortly after midnight the cry,
"fall in" passed along the lines and slinging knapsacks
and shouldering rifles we passed out of the field past
the long, long lines of sleeping men and were again
on the march, this time away from Port Hudson.
What this movement meant we could not comprehend.
Had disaster befallen the fleet or our troops at the
front ? Were we beginning the retreat ? All was doubt
and uncertainty. We stumbled along in the thick dark-
ness through the dense woods, the silence of which was
broken only by an occasional heavy booming sound from
the river. The black darkness of the night grew heavier
and heavier. It was at that darkest hour just before
the dawn when all at once the entire heavens were
aglow. An instant flash of lights as bright as the

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regivient 29

brightest noonday penetrated the inmost recesses of the
forest and for a moment sharply outlined every soldier's
form — then came a sound that shook the very earth,
that thundered and reverberated along the entire
horizon — then all was still and dark. "What is it?"
was the question on every lip. Not until morning had
fully dawned did we learn that it was the dying cry of
the old warship Mississippi as she sank to her rest
beneath the waters of the river whence she had received
her name.

The events of that memorable night form one
of the most stirring chapters of the history of the
war. Farragut having learned of our loss of the
steamer Queen of the West between Vicksburg and Port
Hudson determined to run past the batteries at the
latter place and recover command of the river above.
So in his stout flagship, the Hartford, lashed side by
ride with the Albatross he led the perilous adventure
arriving abreast of the rebel works at about midnight.
The rebels were on the watch and immediately the flames
of a vast bonfire in front of the heaviest batteries
lighting up the entire breadth of the river shot up into
the sky and the next instant the earth trembled to the
roar of all the rebel batteries, whereupon our mortar
boats below began firing thirteen-ineh shell, and four
frigates and five gunboats moved up into the fight. As
our ships came past within pistol shot of the batteries
grape and canister swept their decks with murderous
discharges, the crescent shape of the river enabling them
to rake each vessel as it approached and again as it
receded. By 1 o'clock the fight was virtually over,
the Hartford and the Albatross having passed while
most of their consorts had failed and dropped down

30 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

to their anchorage below, when a fresh blaze told of a
heavy loss. The Mississippi had run aground directly
abreast of the heaviest and most central battery where
her helpless plight was soon discovered and she at once
became a target for them all. Here Capt. Melancthon
Smith fought her nearly half an hour until she was
completely riddled, when he ordered her set on fire and
abandoned, and she was burning ashore until she was so
lightened that she floated, when she drifted down the
river a blazing ruin, exploding several miles below
when the fire had reached her magazine.

The morning after this memorable night found the
48th guarding a bridge on a road parallel to the main
road from Baton Eouge to Port Hudson. We had
fuel prepared ready in an emergency to bum the bridge
as it was feared the enemy's cavalry might attempt to
make a dash on the flank of our army. No cavalry
appeared, however, and we were soon withdrawn and
went into camp on the banks of the Montecino Bayou.
And now the troops came pouring back from Port
Hudson. They had advanced to the outer works, fired
a few shots and retired. Not realizing that the move-
ment was but a feint intended to deceive the enemy in
the hope that they might withdraw some of their heavy
guns from the bluff and thus make easier the passage of
the fleet. Bank's soldiers showered curses on him and his
tactics. They grew calmer when he issued a proclama-
tion saying that the object of the expedition had been
successfully accomplished. A week later all the troops
were withdrawn to Baton Rouge. Banks with the larger
part of the army left for an expedition in Wostem
Louisiana and our Division was left to garrison Baton
Eouge. We took up again the daily routine of picket
duty, guard duty, and drill, varied occasionally by a

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 31

night alarm from the picket line when we would hastily
fall in in the darkness and prepare to meet an enemy
that did not come. Such was our life for two months.
Its monotony was broken on the 2d of May when Grier-
son with his troopers dusty, haggard and wayworn,
rode into Baton Eouge. The story of their coming and
of their incredible adventures flew like wild fire through
the camps and the excitement was at a high pitch.
Nothing like it had been known before in the war.
Seventeen hundred men had ridden through the entire
length of the State of Mississippi from the northeast to
the southwest corner, encountering every conceivable
danger and hardship. Thousands of Confederates had
been trying to find and intercept them. But with
matchless skill Grierson had escaped them by circuits,
outwitted them by ruses, and attacked and routed them
with far inferior numbers. In this raid of 600 miles
through a country swarming with foes they had cut
two railroads, burned nine bridges, destroyed two loco-
lotives and nearly 300 cars, broken up three rebel
duty, guard duty, and drill, varied occasionally by a
camps, destroyed more than $4,000,000 worth of
Confederate government property, captured and paroUed
1,000 prisoners and brought in with them 1,200 cap-
tured horses. Hundreds of dark-hued patriots accom-
panied them into Baton Eouge mounted on mules and
horses they had borrowed from their late masters.
Some idea of the pluck and endurance of the
Westerners may be obtained from the fact that
during the twenty-eight hours preceding their arrival
at Baton Eouge they had marched more than sixty
miles, had four fights and crossed the Comite Eiver
where it was necessary to swim their horses.

32 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

As the month of May wore away boat load after boat
load of troops arrived at Baton Eouge and it soon
became evident that the long-looked for movement
against Port Hudson was at hand. The 48th received
marching orders on the 11th and on the 18th was
again on the familiar road to Port Hudson, starting on
an expedition from which many in that column were
never to return.

That night we camped sixteen miles from Baton
Rouge where we remained until the 21st, on which day
we received our baptism of fire. The regiment got into
line at an early hour and took up line of march for
Port Hudson. We had not moved a mile before the
booming of guns ahead aimounced that our advance had
found the enemy and in all probability we would soon
be engaged.

On arriving at the intersection of the Bayou Sara
and Port Hudson roads near the "Plains Store," so
called, located at that point, the advance was checked
by shots from a rebel battery planted at the "store."
Col. Dudley's Brigade was in the advance and received
the first shock; some of his troops skirmished in front
while others made a flank movement, and the rebels
were routed after quite a sharp engagement.

Lieut. Tucker of the Massachusetts 49th, acting on
Col. Chapin's staff, lost a leg by cannon shot. After the
battle was supposed to be over, and the rebels had pre-
cipitately retired, the Division (excepting the 48th)
made preparations to bivouac in the field at the right
and left of the Bayou Sara road near the "Plains
Store." A section of the 5th U. S. Regular Battery
was sent a short distance up the Port Hudson road and
the 48th Massachusetts was ordered to its support

Previous to Assault of June 14, 1863.

Col. Stone was informed that the lUinok cavalry were
picketing on his front and right, and the 174th New
York infantry on his left, and he was cautioned very
strictly to be careful and not shoot those pickets by
mistake.

The Staff Officer who conducted the 48th to its
position, led them (and also the battery), entirely out-
side the pickets, so that unknown to Col. Stone the 48th
was in a very exposed position, with neither front nor
flanks protected. Cos. H and K were detached from the
right wing and sent to the rear to guard the baggage
train, leaving only three companies, B, E and D, in that
wing; these three companies of the right wing, under
Lieut.-Col. O'Brien, filed into the woods on the right
hand side of the road ; and the left wing, Cos. F, G, I,
A and C, with Col. Stone, into the woods on the left-
hand side of the road, and the battery was placed in the
road between the two wings which were entirely sep-
arated from each other. Scarcely had the regiment
taken its position when the rebels commenced shelling
us and our battery smartly returned their fire. While
this was transpiring a force of rebel infantry passed
around the left fiank, and to the rear of the left wing,
and as soon as the artillery fire ceased, fell upon them
while totally imprepared. The suddeimess of the at-
tack threw them into confusion and they gave way and
retreated to the rear. The advance of the rebels was
met by a countercharge of the 116th New York and
the rebels were routed.

A portion of the rebel forces crossed the road and
came upon the left flank and rear of the right wing.
Lieut.-Col. O'Brien attempted to change front by
throwing back his left, but a portion of the men became

34 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Begiment

confused, and Col. O'Brien ordered a retreat. This
order was not heard by Capt. Stanwood. Seeing some
of his men about to fall back in disorder he ordered
them to stand fast, which they did, and with a portion
of Cos. E and D fell back about 100 yards and took a
new position, rallying on the colors.

General Augur was at the rear and near the Plains
Store and witnessed the occurrence : The battery guns
went to the rear before the right wing left its position.
Col. Stone lost both his horses, captured. At night Co.
B went on picket.

The 48th lost two killed, several wounded and pris-
oners in the fight today.

May 23. Co. B was relieved from picket by Co. F.
Calvin A. Farrington of Co. B was missing at roll call,
having been taken prisoner. Lieut.-Col. O'Brien and
Captain Stanwood were requested to come to Maj.-Gen.
Augur's headquarters, which they did, and were com-
plimented very highly for the part sustained by the right
wing in yesterday's battle; and also some of the ofScers
and men of the left wing who rallied on the colors.
The numbers in the right wing were so few that the
General supposed at the time that there was but one
company. He said the regiment did as well as any but
veteran troops would do under the circumstances; that
they had by mistake been placed in the wrong position
and were very badly posted on either side of the road.
He kindly criticised Lieut.-Col. O'Brien and told him
that he made a great mistake by trying to make a wheel
to the rear in the face of an aggressive enemy, his
men being under fire for the first time; none but sea-
soned troops could do that safely. He said the Lieu-
tenant-Colonel should have ordered the right of his

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 35

command forward and met the enemy, and taken the
aggressive, and he had confidence, from what he wit-
nessed of their steadiness, that the men would have sup-
ported him. He then complimented the men for cool-
ness under fire and said no doubt the regiment would feel
chagrined at the outcome of their first battle, but no
doubt an early opportunity would be given them to
retrieve themselves. He also said that if the regiment
should be called upon for volunteers for an assaulting
party, in a future assault (which he thought would be
the case very soon) he directed Captain Stanwood of
Co. B and his company not to feel as if called upon, but
to remain with the main body of the regiment, that
he would not be expected to volunteer in any forlorn
hope or assaulting party. His 1st Lieut. (Rollins)
detailed to Col. Chapin's stafE. Lieut. Merrill was
acting Quartermaster of the regiment for some con-
siderable time.

May 23. Alarm in the night — ^long roll beaten —
regiment turned out under arms, but the alarm proved
to be false. 48th ordered far down to the rear of the
Ist Battery fight on the Bayou Sara road.

Co. E's men proved themselves good foragers, bring-
ing in quantities of poultry and pigs.

May 24. Regiment ordered to march to the front
with one day's rations at 6 o'clock A. M. Co. B
was detached and sent forward skirmishing into a
narrow strip of woods; the mud and water were very
djeep and almost impenetrable. They advanced, how-
ever, with great diflBculty through the woods to within
about 300 yards of the rebel works and there remained
through the day, lying in the edge of the woods, and
witnessed the artillery battle between the opposing bat-

36 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

teries in our immediate front till nearly dark when
they were relieved by the Massachusetts 49th.

May 35. There was a smart fight near night upon
our right in Gen. Grover's Division and some rebs
attempted to cut their way out but failed and were taken
prisoners. The regiment ordered to sleep on their
arms tonight.

May 26. One false alarm during the night. Beg-
iment got into line promptly, but as promptly dismissed.
Orders received from headquarters for volunteers for a
"Forlorn Hope" to charge in advance of the brigade
line, and storm the enemy's works tomorrow morning.

There were more than the required number came
forward from the brigade (the call was for 200 men
from the brigade) and ninety-two men were accepted
from the 4Sth Massachusetts. The following are the
names of those accepted from the 48th: Lieut.-Col.
O'Brien; Co. A, Capt. Woodward, Lieut. Morrison,
Privates E. C. Varina, N. F. Peabody, Isaac P. Porter,
Henry M. Cross; Co. C, Lieut. Emery; Co. D, Private

May 27. Before the men had had their breakfast
orders were received to assault the enemy's works.
Immediately we advanced quietly to the extreme edge
of the woods where we laid on our arms till about 2
o'clock in the afternoon, the "Forlorn Hope" under
command of Lieut.-Col. O'Brien in the advance. At
that hour and before the main line had fairly formed
for the assault we received a volley from the enemy's
guns and at the same time the zip of the rebel bullets
was getting unpleasantly frequent. General Augur,
who stood very near, seeing the men dodge their heads
at the disagreeable sound said, "No use boys to dodge
them after you hear them," a fact we soon learned by
experience. The "Forlorn Hope" had commenced the
charge, O'Brien saying, "Come boys! pick up your
bundles and follow me," and General Augur gave
the command, "Forward the Brigade," and the
whole brigade advanced into the "slashings." The
whole forest of large trees and small had been
felled and the limbs lopped off and left upon the
ground, which was entirely covered with the stumps,
logs and brush; and through this almost impenetrable
Cheveux de Frise, the men attempted to charge, and
over which a perfect storm of shell, cannister and rifle
bullets flew like hail ; no formation could be maintained

3^ Forty-eighth Massachmetts Regiment

over finch grounds and in a few moments it was every
one for himself. The "Forlorn Hope" and the main
line became inextricably mixed, and advanced together,
charged nearly up to the rebel works, but the fire was
so severe that human endurance was not equal to the
task set for us, and the men were compelled to drop
behind stumps and logs, and take advantage of any
shelter to be found, and acted as sharpshooters, hoping
that reinforcements might be sent up and continue the
assault. The 2d Louisiana from Dudley's brigade
came up the road later, but too late to be of any serv-
ice, and the assault was abandoned, and the men
dropped back individually to their old line as best they
eould. Col. Chapin, 116th New York, commanding the
brigade, Lieut.-Col. O'Brien, 48th Massachusetts, com-
manding the "Forlorn Hope," and many others were
killed ; Capt. Eogers, Co. H, Capt. Smith, Co. I, Lieuts.
Morrison, Frawley, Maginnis, Eicker, Bassett and Hard-
ing, and many others wounded, and a large number of
the rank and file of the regiment were killed or more
or less seriously wounded; Lieut. Eicker suffered the
amputation of his leg. As we came back from the
front, we had our first sight of the dreadful effects of
a battle and burial of the dead in one line, about twenty
dead bodies lying at the side of the road, and the long
trench all ready to receive them. Poor fellows, with
no cofiBn and no shroud but the blue uniform in which
they had shed their blood for the flag they loved.

May 28. Ambulances and stretchers under flags of
truce have been going all night, bringing in the bodies
of the dead and wounded. Col. Chapin's body has been
sent to New Orleans. Lieut.-Col. O'Brien's body has
just been found in the most advanced line. When his

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 3?

elothfis were opened the bullet which penetrated his
body fell out, it having passed entirely through him
and flattened up against a steel vest which he wore into
the battle. He recklessly exposed himself and lost his
life by so doing, seeking to retrieve himself from Gen.
Augur's kindly criticism of his mistake of the 21st at
Plains Store.

May 29. The regiment laid on their arms all night
in expectation of an attack by the garrison, but the
pight passed away and all has been quiet in camp to-
iJay. Several heavy thunder showers in the afternoon.
Orders received to fall in with all our traps and go to
the rear; mud very deep and the march tedious.

The 2d Louisiana has been attached to our brigade
and Col. Charles J. Paine of that regiment, being
senior Colonel, takes command of the brigade. He is
a Massachusetts man and is said to be a fine officer.

May 30. Cannonading going on all the night and
day from the batteries and from the fleet. Marched
back to our old camp in front.

June 1. A Lieutenant of sharpshooters wounded
during the early morning. Gen. Banks was much cha-
grined at the failure of the first assault. Regiment
inarched back to the rear after dark to support bat-
teries. Laid in cornfield with cornstalks for bedding
and pillow.

June 2. Regiment got into line at 4 o'clock and
marched back to old camp ground. Co. E detailed to
go to the rear to guard the baggage train^ to relieve
Co. G.

June 3. Smart cannonading all night. Gen. Banks
and Admiral Farragut give the rebs no peace day or
night.

40 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

June 4. Eegiment marched back to the old camp
in front. Four men of Co. B reported from Baton
Rouge.

June 5. Officers ordered to report at Brigade Head-
quarters to confer about Lieutenant-Colonelcy. The
laws of Massachusetts state explicitly that the vacancy
shall be filled by the votes of the line officers of the
regiment.

June 6. Rumored preparations for another assault.
Col. Stone sent for Capt. Stanwood and requested him
to act as Lieutenant-Colonel till the vacancy could be
legally filled, saying that an election would soon be
ordered.

June 1. False alarm in the night. Man with night-
mare disturbed camp by upsetting a stack of guns and
bringing out the whole regiment. Inspection at 9
o'clock A. M.

June 8. Harrison W. Dearborn, Co. B, died at
Baton Rouge. Immense lots of cotton bales being
hauled to the front for breastworks.

June 9. Smart firing during the night. Large fire
to be seen in Port Hudson.

June 10. Some heavy cannonading during the
night. Chaplain came up from Baton Rouge with mail
today. Quartermaster came up from Baton Rouge with
new teams.

June 11. Many of the men are sufEering badly from
rheumatism, malaria and kindred ailments, acquired
from lying in the rifie pits, which are much of the time
half full of water. Nothing more has been said re-
garding an election of Lieutenant-Colonel, and there ia
much speculation among the officers and men as to the
reason.

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 41

June 12. An election for Lieutenant-Colonel was
ordered by Col. Stone and held today and Capt. Stan-
wood was unanimously chosen.

June 13. The regiment received orders at 10 o'clock
A. M. to report to Gen. Augur's headquarters at once.
On reporting to Gen. Augur we were ordered to march
away to the right to report to Gen. Arnold, chief of
artillery. Reported at about 11 o'clock after a very
quick march, in which many of the men suffered terri-
bly, it being in the very heat of the day and with but
one halt on the road; we must have marched at least
seven or eight miles. Stacked arms and took entrench-
ing tools — which in plain English means picks and
shovels and axes. Some of the companies were de-
tailed to clear out a big ravine which led up in the
direction of the rebel breastworks and just in the rear
of where it was intended to plant a battery, while
others were busied in throwing up the breastworks,
carrying up ammunition and other duties. Worked
till dark and v/ithout supper; made preparations to
bivouac, when we were ordered to take up our march
again to our old camp at the rear near the Plains
Store, whence we had started in the morning. Arrived
in camp late in the evening, and after enjoying ( ?)
coffee and hardtack laid our tired bones on the groimd
with the hope of gaining some rest ; but our hopes were
blasted. We had got scarcely settled to rest when the
following order was received directly from Gen. Banks'
headquarters :

"Headquarters, Department of the Gulf.
"Before Port Hudson, June 13, 1863, 8.45 P. M.

"Maj.-Gen. Augur will order the 48th Massachusetts,
Col. Stone, to proceed at once to the headquarters of

42 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

the 2d Division and report for temporary duty to Brig.-
Gen. William Dwight, commanding the Division. A
general assault upon the works of the enemy at Port
Hudson will be made tomorrow morning, 14th instant."

The regiment got into line, being nearly 500 strong
(or weak), but so used up that many fell out during
tiie march through the woods, which occupied nearly
all the night — ^the guide sent with us losing the way —
and it was nearly morning when Col. Stone reported to
Gen. Dwight. It was intended that we should occupy
the extreme left on the river bank and make our charge
at that point; but after reconnoitering the ground we
were moved further to the right, to near the Mount
Pleasant road, and bivouaced at the side of the road.

June 14. A dense fog prevailing and terribly hot.
Col. Stone reported to Gen. Dwight at a very early
hour, before light, with 175 men and four Captains
present for duty, the rest of the men having become
exhausted by the work of yesterday and the night
march through the woods, having started from Plains
Store yesterday morning with nearly 500 men.

A tremendous artillery fire for an hour commenced
at about 3 o'clock, both from land forces and the fleet.
The men present in the regiment were consolidated into
four companies, and Capt. Todd volunteered to take
command of the right company, consisting of rem-
nants of Cos. B and E.

The bombardment continued fiercely for an hour,
during which time the columns were being formed for
the assault in the rear of a piece of woods; the forma-
tion was in column by companies and Capt. Todd led
the advance. We in the 48th could see the efEect of the
rebel fire on the brigade in advance of us, as it turned

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment iS,

the corner of the woods into the Mount Pleasant road.
Quickly the order came down to "Forward the Brigade"
(we were attached for the day to the brigade com-
manded by Col. Benedict). When we came out from
the shelter of the woods the fire of the enemy was ter-
rible, but the column moved forward firmly; the rebel
line of breastworks was clearly djefined before us, with
the "Citadel" frowning in the front. As we advanced
the march from quick time soon became double quick,
and finally a mad rush, passing over dead and wounded
in the road. The air fairly hissed with bullets and
shell, the groans of the wounded mingled with the
^heers and yells of the charging troops, the shouts of
t}ie officers and also their imprecations as some poor
fellows, losing their presence of mind, would try to
dodge the flying missiles as they passed to bury them-
eelves with a sickening "thud" in some other doomed
comrade's body; it seemed as if pandemonium was let
Ipose, and when we overtook and passed over the pros-
trate bodies of the red clothed fascine bearers, who had
started in advance of the main column and who, un-
able to face the leaden storm, had dropped their bur-
djens and taken shelter behind them, they were greeted
with cries of derision, which quickly changed to cries
of dismay when we came into the vortex and saw the
ground swept as it were by a whirlwind, and every man
sought shelter in ravines, behind stumps, logs and any
object which could afford shelter.

This ended Gen. Dwight's movement. But it had
advanced our lines so that we held possession of a rough
hill which commanded the "Citadel," which had been
the objective point of our assault, and which was the
piost formidable point in the rebel works. The men

44 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

held themselves well and showed that former experi-
ences had had a good effect. Capt. Todd was seriously
wounded in the mouth; Adjt. Ogden was slightly
wounded ; Darius Nelson of Co. B was killed and others
both killed and wounded. The Lieutenant-Colonel was
thrown down by the explosion of a shell, which happily
did- not wound him, but his right leg was serious par-
alyzed and he laid on the field all day exposed to the
pitiless fire of the rebel sharpshooters and the scarcely
less endurable rays of the burning Louisiana sun, until
night came and the Ambulance Corps and brought re-
lief. The scenes on the field were heart-rending, and
the sufferings of the wounded appealed so strongly to
the sympathy of their more fortunate comrades that
lives were lost and others risked attempting to succor
these unfortunate men.

The movement was much criticized by some of the
officers, especially the cannonade which preceded the
assault, as it is said that by it the rebs were apprised
that an assault was to be made and they were prepared
to repel it, and the day which had opened so auspi-
ciously ended in gloom. Details of stretcher-bearers
plying their melancholy duty carried the wounded to
the hospitals, and the dead swiftly to the long trenches.

June 15. Eegiment was relieved from support of
battery and marched leisurely back to our old camp
near the front center. The men were almost entirely
exhausted, but it was impossible to excuse them from
duty, as all are in the same condition.

June 16. Eeeeived orders during the day calling for
volunteers for another storming party of 1000 men.

June 17. Passed the night in the rifle pits. There
was a very heavy rain early in the morning, filling the

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 45

pits and making the situation very disagreeable. Order
in regard to detail of one officer and twenty-five men
for Btorming party countermanded, as more than the
required number had volunteered.

June 18. Segiment supporting an Indiana battery,
at the front, early in the morning having moved in to
the rifle pits.

June 20. Sharpshooters are making things lively.
There are rumors floating through the camps that
Vicksburg has fallen. Regiment ordered to move into
the rifle pits at dark.

Jime 21. Regiment occupied the rifle pits last night.
The 2d Vermont Battery kept up a kind of intermittent
firing. Regiment relieved at night and returned to the
rear, bivouacking in the woods.

June 22. Election held in Co. B for vacant offices.
Lieut. Merrill was elected Captain, receiving 16 votes
to 15 for Lieut. Rollins; 1st Sergt. James S. Walsh
was elected Second Lieutenant.

June 23. There has been considerable discussion of
the vexing question of termination of service. There
are very few officers left with the , regiment, and the
duty is very hard in consequence.

June 24. Lieut. Maginnis (who was wounded in
the assault of the 27th of May) died of his wounds
today.

June 26. Orders received to take the regiment to
the rear and bivouac near Brigade Headquarters, and
just at night ordered to relieve the 2d Louisiana in the
advance rifle pits.

June 27. Col. Stone on the sick list. After being
relieved from the rifle pits ordered to go to the left and

46 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

support the 49th Massachusetts and 21st Maine, which
we did, bivouacking at 11 o'clock P. M.

June 29. Heavy cannonading all night. An at-
tempt was made a little to our left and front to cap^
ture an outpost of ours, but it failed; the rebs were re-
pulsed, and it is said with a loss of 90 prisoners ; cannot
vouch for the truth of the rumor. Regiment ordered
into the rifle pits to support Holcomb's 2d Vermont
Battery.

June 30. Were in the rifle pits near Holcomb's Bat-
tery all night. There were sounds of a smart skirmish
down on the extreme left, which continued aboiit an
hour. Col. Stone left today for Baton Rouge, sick.

July 1. Regiment bivouacking near Brigade Head-
c|uarters. Rebs made a raid into Springfield Landing,
stampeding the guards and destroying a considerable
amount of government stores.

July 2. Regiment has laid in the woods near Brig-
ade Headquarters this forenoon. Near noon orders
came to fall in to repel an attack from the rebs in the
rear who had raided Springfield Landing and after de-
stroying the government stores there were now on the
march for Port Hudson. The "march to Port Hud-
son" proved to be a hoax, and the regiment was soon
dismissed and at night went into the front rifle pits.

July 3. Regiment occupied the rifle pits, supporting
Holcomb's Battery. Rebel sharpshooters very active.
Gen. Grover visited the battery this afternoon. He
looks anxious and careworn. Relieved from rifle pits
by the 116th New York.

July 4. National salute fired at sunrise with shotted
guns. This is not our usual way of celebrating our
National birthday. Regiment received orders to get into

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 47

line prepared to make another assault. The "Forlorn
Hope" was already in position at the front. The regi-
ment stood in line many long and weary hours, anx-
iously awaiting the signal gun to commence the as-
sault. For some reason the assault was not made, and
after a tedious wait we were relieved and allowed to re-
turn to camp. Another salute with shotted guns was
fired at noon by Nims' Battery. A member of Co. B,
who was captured from us on May 21st at Plains Store,
escaped from Port Hudson today and came back to
camp.

July 5. Gen. Banks has just passed up to the front
with a flag of truce. Ordered into the rifle pits at
night.

July 6. Passed the night in the rifle pits. The reg-
iment is being rapidly decimated by hard duty and ex-
posure to this terrible hot weather.

Jidy 7. Two rebels came into headquarters from
Port Hudson, and their accounts show that the garri-
son can hold out but a very short time.

Official news has been received from Gen. Grant
that Vicksburg surrendered on the 4th. A gunboat
came down river from that place early this morning
bringing the news. Communication with the army
was for some reason broken and it was quite late in the
day before the message was delivered to (Jen. Banks.
It" was at once communicated to the troops in the
trenches; from man to man, from company to com-
pany, from regiment to regiment the word passed, and
the cheers from the men rang out and the long silenced
bands filled the forests with the strains of the "Star
Spangled Banner," "America," "Yankee Doodle" and
other patriotic music. Eeceived orders for the 4Sth to

48 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

occupy the rifle pits and support Holcomb's 3d Vet-
mont Battery tonight.

Before going on duty the Lieutenant-Colonel visited
Gen. Augur's headquarters, by his request, and was par-
ticularly instructed and cautioned as to his duty. He
said, "You are going into the most important position
on the line, and as the ranking ofiScer on the brigade
picket line you will be expected to exercise the greatest
vigilance. The information we have leads us to expect
that the enemy will offer to surrender or make an at-
tempt to break out through our thin lines, and it is ex-
pected that you will be prepared for either or any
emergency. Double your outer picket line, keep your
men well in hand and allow none to sleep. If any at-
tempt is made to break out it must be prevented at all
hazards till reinforcements reach you, which you may
feel assured will be pushed forward to your assistance
at the first alarm, and you must check the attack at the
hazard of your lives; two companies from another regi-
ment will be ordered into the rifle pits to strengthen
your line." Regiment went into the rifle pits at about
9 o'clock in the evening.

July 8. The inevitable has happened! Port Hud-
son has fallen! Regiment laid quietly in rifle pits till
shortly after 12 o'clock, midnight, the notes of a bugle
were heard in our front sounding "a parley," and a
few seconds later an oflBeer with a small escort ap-
proached, bearing a lantern fixed to a long pole, with
a white handkerchief tied beneath it to serve as a flag
of truce. At the outpost the flag was halted and its
object ascertained, which was the delivery of a dispatch
to Gen. Banks from Gen. Gardner, in command of the
Confederate forces in Port Hudson, which was irame-

LANDING AT BATON ROUGE, LA.,
Looking Vp River.

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 4t»

diately dispatched to Gen. Banks' headquarters by mes-
senger. The dispatch contained a request for ofiBcial
assurance as to the truth of the report that Vicksburg
had surrendered. If true, Gardner asked for a cessa-
tion of hostilities, with a view to consider terms of sur-
render of Port Hudson, and soon a blast upon a bugle
brought back the little party of Confederates with the
lantern swinging from the pole and the conference cul-
minated in an agreement to surrender, and that a com-
mission be appointed from each side to agree upon
terms. »

Orders were immediately issued to cease firing all
along the line and also from the fleet. Brig.-Gen. C.
P. Stone, Col. Birge and Brig.-Gen. Dwight were desig-
nated by Gen. Banks as such commission. At 9 o'clock
this morning the commissioners from both armies met
just in front of our position, and nearly on the spot
where Lieut.-Col. O'Brien had formed his men while
waiting for the word on that eventful 27th of May.
On the Confederate side the commissioners were Col.
Miles', Col. Steedman, 1st Alabama, and Lieut.-Gol.
Smith, Chief of Artiltery. Gen. Andrew was desig-
nated to receive the surrender, which it was finally de-
cided should take place tomorrow morning, the 9th.
The men of the 48th can feel with considerable satis-
faction that through the carrying out of Col. Paine's
plan (to crowd the hard work of the siege onto the nine
months regiments) they have been placed in a position
where they can claim the honor of receiving the flag
of truce which surrendered this great stronghold after
so many weary and exciting weeks of fighting, digging
and suffering. While the negotiations have been going
on ofiicers from some of the rebel regiments came over

50 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

into our lines and fraternized with ns as socially ai
though no state of war ever existed between the two
sections of the country, and one officer expressed the
wish that the war could now close and the North and
South combine and whip out England; his reason be-
ing "that England had not recognized the independ-
ence of the Confederacy after the Trent affair."

July 9. The 48th was in line promptly at 4.30 thio
morning, in accordance with orders, but was obliged to
wait until nearly 10 o'clock before commencing to
march into Port Hudson, en route for Donaldsonville,
at which hour the 48th with the Massachusetts 49th
and 21st Maine took up the line of march to the land-
ing and embarked on board steamer "Louisian Belle"
late in the afternoon after the ceremony of surrender,
which was very short. The rebels were drawn up in line
with Gen. Gardner at their head, the right resting near
the railroad station. When the command "ground
arms" was given every man placed his musket upon
the ground. It was a very affecting sight, and there
was no man in the victorious army who did not experi-
ence a feeling of pity go out to the brave men who had
been compelled to surrender after so long and so bril-
liant defense. Gen. Gardner tendered his sword to Gen.
Andrews who declined to receive it. The rebel flag was
hauled down from the flagstaff where it so defiantly
floated through the siege. A salute was fired by the
naval battery, the stars and stripes run up. The gar-
rison filed off as prisoners of war, and all was over.

More than 6,000 rebels surrendered. The soldiers
were parolled but the officers were held as prisoners of
war. Twenty pieces of heavy artillery and more than
30 pieces of field artillery were captured. The loss of

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 51

the 19th army corps during the siege has been nearly
5,000 men. No correct account has been made of the
rebel loss, but an approximate calculation will give it as
nearly 1,000, which, considering that their fighting has
been entirely behind breastworks, is very heavy. Port
Hudson is a very strong place and would have cost us
many more men to have taken it by storm. As we
steamed away from the landing and gazed at the bluffs
and remembered the long weeks of waiting in front of
its land batteries we could but take a long drawn sigh
of relief. We shall no doubt soon be sent home.
Home! Can any outside the army imagine what this
word means to us who have lain so many weary weeks
in the swamps of Louisiana, watching the lines of the
enemy with the eyes of hungry wolves, dying by hun-
dreds, by bullet, and shell, and disease. It means
friends, comfort, life itself, in exchange for misery,
squallor, dirt, a dog's life, and death, and an unknovm
grave.

July 10. Beached Donaldsonville at 9 o'clock A. M.
While on the passage down, and we were at breakfast,
the steamer was fired on from the shore, but happily
no one was hit. The shots were returned from the boat,
but with what results of course we could not know, but
we were not further molested.

After landing we made a reconnaissance till nearly
dark when the regiment bivouacked for the night near
the levee. The rebels have evidently drawn away their
forces from the river and we shall probably have to seek
them further inland.

July 11. False alarm in the night. Regiment fell
in with arms, but were soon dismissed.

July 12. A steamer came up from New Orleans

52 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

which shows that the blockade is raised, and the Missis-
sippi river throughout its whole length is clear for the
first time in two whole years.

July 13. Col. Paine's brigade received orders while
at breakfast to fall in and march to support Col. Dud-
ley. Marched out several miles and halted to make
preparations for diimer, there being no indications of
being called into action very soon. Some were for-
tunate enough to dine early, their meal being very
frugal, and hard tack and coSee constituted their prin-
cipal fare, and a little green corn from the fields. We
were startled by the rattle of musketry in our immedi-
ate front, and we were at once ordered into line and
found that Dudley was engaged with the enemy and
had been gradually driving them back until he came
upon their main line, when he was in turn being slowly
and obstinately forced back. Our brigade was now
ordered to the front at "double quick" on the road par-
allel to the bayou, and soon ordered to file to the right
into a little green plantation road or path, and baited,
our left resting on the bayou road. In our front was a
rail fence with a deep ditch at the side of the road;
beyond the fence an open field of about 125 yards extent
and beyond that an immense corn field. By the waving
of the com tops we could trace the movements of Dud-
ley's men and could see that they were slowly retreat-
ing and coming back gradually towards our line. The
regiment was ordered to occupy the ditch at the side of
the road. Very soon Dudley's men made their appear-
ance out of the corn, loading and firing as they fell
slowly back. A more soldierly appearance could not
have been made than was made by the regiment in our
immediate front (the 161st New York, Col. Harrower,)

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 5S

as they retired, slowly, towards our line, turning
and firing as they retreated. They came over the fence
in our front and passed over us to our rear, where they
laid down. The rebels followed them closely to the
edge of the cornfield, and attempted to cross the open
field in our front, but were immediately sent to the
"right about" in some confusion, by the fire from the
trusty rifles in the hands of the 48th boys who laid close
to the ground, firing under the bottom rail in the
fence, and the range being low the shots were very
effective.

A short time previous. Col. Paine had taken the
49th out of their place in line, which was on our imme-
diate right, leaving a gap in the brigade line which the
48th was directed to cover with an oblique fire, thus
giving us double ground to cover. Col. Paine before
leaving with the 49th came to Lieut.-Col. Stanwood
and directed him to hold our ground at all hazards till
his return.

The rebels tried several times to charge across the
open field in our front, but were as often driven back by
the steady fire from our men in the ditch.

While this was transpiring, the rebels had driven back
the brigade on the opposite side of the bayou until their
fire enfiladed the left of our brigade, and at the same
time were rapidly flanking the whole force on our
right which began to fall back, and in a short time we
were left alone upon the field. A staff ofiScer from Col.
Dudley rode up and ordered the Lieutenant-Colonel to
retire the regiment. His authority was not recognized,
Lieut.-Col. Stanwood having received orders from our
own brigade commander (Col. Paine) to hold the
ground at all hazards until his return, which order he

54 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

held himself bound to obey. Soon on looking to the
right and left not a blue-coated soldier could be seen,
and away to the right the rebel could be seen passing
rapidly to the rear. On the opposite side of the bayou
the fighting was going on far to our rear while from
our front in the corn desultory shots came, viciously
striking the fence rails above our heads. Feeling that
in this case "discretion was the better part of valor" and
not caring to be a second Cassabianca, he directed the
men to pass the word quietly down the line, without
rising, and retire from their position as best they could,
and rally in the rear on the colors.

This they did, and the rebs were so close that many
of the men were captured before they had time to retire
from the ditch ! The 48th lost in killed, wounded and
missing 65 out of a total 201 men engaged. Lieut.
Wilson, Co. D, and Lieut. Bassett, Co. I, were taken
prisoners. Lieut. Wilson was reported as also wounded.

The men after retiring from the ditch rallied in the
Tear, and later took their place in the line of the
brigade in the rear and in a low swamp. A tremen-
dous rain storm came up towards night flooding our
camp.

July 14. Our camp is located in a low swamp and is
completely inundated. The men are all thoroughly
soaked to the skin. The day has been spent in bringing
in the dead and wounded. Among the dead is Edward
T. Bennett of Co. B.

July 15. Still in camp at Donaldsonville. Eeceived
dispatches from New Orleans, announcing a great vic-
tory in Pennsylvania by Gen. Meade's army, on the 1st,
2d and 3d days of July. The first week in July has
been a week of tremendous importance to the Union

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Eegiment 55

cause — ^Vicksburg-Port Hudson, and now this great
Tictory of Gen. Mead's at Gettysburg — three names long
to be remembered in American history. We hear that
Col. Stone has recovered his horse which was captured
from him at the battle of Plains Store, May 21.

July 16. Eegiment received orders to change camp
to the rear to secure higher ground, by which move the
48th has secured the best location in the brigade line.
There are all sorts of rumors in regard to going home.
Suppose that some of them may be true and expect
that now that Port Hudson has been taken that we
Bhall be sent home before long. Eeceived word from
Baton Rouge that Joseph B. Hale of Co. B died in the
hospital there today.

July 17. All prisoners taken from us on the 13th
have been paroled, and have returned to camp today
having marched from Thibadoux. They say that the
rebs had less than a thousand men on our side of the
bayou in the battle, and our defeat was all owing to bad
generalship on the part of our commanding ofiBcers.

July 18. Daniel F. Connell of Co. B who was taken
prisoner on the 13th, came back to camp today, having
been paroled, and walked from the rebel camp (which
hfi thinks is nearly 100 miles from here) with one hard-
tack and a little corn meal for his rations during the
march.

He thinks there are from 10,000 to 20,000 rebels
between Donaldsonville and Thibadoux, with consider-
able artillery. A continued discussion of the question
of "going home" now principally occupies the time of
the men.

July 21. Capt. Bainbridge, a U. S. army ofBcer,
came to camp today and the Lieutenant-Colonel at

56 Forty-eighth Massachtisetts Begiment

once went before him and was mustered out as captaJB
and immediately mustered in as Lieutenant-Colonel.

July 22. Capt. SchofE, Lieut. Morrison with a detail
of thirty-three men went foraging at 4.30 this morning
and returned at 3 P. M. having gone out about nine
miles and obtained a large amount of corn. The regi-
ment is now nearly destitute of commissioned officers.

July 23. The glorious news from Gen. Meade's
army confirmed. Gen. Lee entirely defeated at Gettys-
burg, Penn., and driven back into Virginia. Our
friends at home have by this time heard of our victory
at Port Hudson and will be now looking for our return.
Heavy thunder showers today.

July 24. Paymaster Maj. Palmer arrived at 7.30
o'clock A. M. and proceeded to pay ofE the regiment,
which feat was accomplished at noon. Maj. Palmer in-
forms us that the campaign is over and the men are
being sent home as fast as transportation can be
furnished.

July 25. Alarm in the night caused by the pickets
firing into some old horse or mule.

July 26. Col. Love, 116th New York, in command
of the brigade during Col. Paine's absence.

July 27. Very quiet in camp last night.

July 29. Regiment received drums today, and re-
sumed regular dress parades which have been greatly
interfered with during the siege of Port Hudson and
during the stay here in Donaldsonville.

July 30. The camp here at Donaldsonville is evi-
dently breaking up ; some of the troops are on the move
at daylight. Gen. Weitzel's old brigade has marched
for Thibadoux. We are still kept on the "ragged edge"

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 57

all the time looking for orders to start for Baton Eouge
and home.

July 31. Orders have been received at headquarters
for our removal to Baton Kouge, as soon as transporta-
tion can be furnished. At 11.30 o'clock this forenoon
orders were received to prepare to move immediately.
Several steamers have come and gone but none for us as
yetj which is very tantalizing.

August 1. Steamer "Kepper" arrived and the 48th
immediately went on board as also the 49th. Quarters
were very much crowded and the men have suffered
intensely on the hot deck during the passage up the
river to Baton Eouge where we arrived just before dark.
Disembarked with military precision.

August 2. Glad to get to our old quarters which
seems something like home. During the night some of
the men were jubilantly celebrating their return and
become over-boisterous. The chaplain's tent caught fire
from some mysterious cause and burned down. Col.
Stone, although having left the regiment when in front
of Port Hudson, and remained in Baton Eouge since
that time on the sick list, took command of the regi-
ment at once.

August 3. Col. Stone decided that he is able to take
command of the regiment. How little we anticipated
when we left Baton Eouge in May what changes would
take place before we should return in August — ^Ijieut.-
Col. O'Brien and so many other brave and good men
gone.

August 4. The Colonel has reported for duty.
Orders have been received for an inspection of the
regiment which at this time looks much like going home.

August 5. Our old parade ground which we used

58 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

when we first came to Baton Rouge does not look at all
familiar. The 49th Regiment has received orders to
take transportation for New Orleans at once.

August 6. We are expecting every moment to get
orders to start for home, and the delay is very vexatious.

August 7. Received orders to start for home hy way
of the Mississippi river and Cairo, 111. (and in conse-
quence we are all feeling happy) , as soon as transporta-
tion can be secured.

August 8. The men are all busily engaged cleaning
up guns and equipments to turn over before going
home. Home ! how pleasant the sound, when it means
so much to us who have for so long a time been deprived
of all the comforts of home,

August 9. Inspection came off this morning at 7
o'clock and everything was found in "spick and span"
condition. Notice has been received that the steamer
is awaiting us at the landing, and we have turned in all
ordnance and ordnance stores, surplus clothing, camp
and garrison equippage and are now on board steamer
"Sunny South" ready for the start.

August 10. Steamer started up river at 3 o'clock this
morning and arrived opposite Port Hudson at sunrise.
Our passing of the batteries was much more quietly
accomplished than was Commodore Farragut's last
March. The scenery on the Mississippi River is very
monotonous and tame. Have passed only one little
village today. Fort Adams passed at 3 o'clock P. M.
The men are suffering terribly from heat on the "burn-
ing deck." At 10 P. M. arrived at Natchez. Since
coming to Louisiana we have been using New Orleans
horse car tickets and postage stamps for change.

August 11. We left Natchez at 5 P. M. The bluffs

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 59

here at Natchez are 150 feet in height. The city is
very prettily situated. Passed village of Washington
on the left at 10.30 A. M. Passed Gen. Taylor's plan-
tation at 11.30 A. M.; Grand Gulf at 3 P. M.— a very
strong place. Passed wreck of Indianola at sunset.
Arrived at Vicksburg soon after 11 o'clock at night.

August 12. Passed head of the celebrated Vicksburg
canal at 11.15 A. M. Passed Millican's Bend at 2
o'clock P. M. Steamer "Tempest" with the 49th
Massachusetts on board has passed up.

August 13. Passed Napoleon Ark at the mouth of
the Arkansas Eiver about 9 o'clock.

August 14. Arrived at Helena, Ark., at 1.30 P. M.
Stopped to coal till 4 o'clock and went on shore to
stretch our legs during the stay. It is a very strong
natural fortification, and many artificial works have
been erected in addition. Two men were drowned
attempting to come on board.

August 15. Arrived at Memphis at about 6 o'clock
A. M. Left at 11.30 P. M.

August 16. Steamer ran aground and stuck fast for
two hours; reached Gayoso Landing at 4 P. M.

One must travel on the Mississippi Eiver to get any
idea of its greatness. Here we go pufiBng along, day
after day, and night after night, and we wake up every
morning and the same grand old river stretches away
before us.

The distances on the Mississippi Eiver are as follows :
Passes to New Orleans, 135 miles; New Orleans to
Baton Eouge, 130; Baton Bouge to Port Hudson, 30;
Port Hudson to Natchez, 100; Natchez to Vicksburg,
140; Vicksburg to Memphis, 360; Memphis to Cairo,
240; total 1125 miles.'

60 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

August 17. Arrived opposite Columbus, Kentucky,
at 8 A. M. when the steamer was brought too by a shot
across her bows from the Battery at this point. Ar-
rived at Cairo, 111., at 10 A. M. While stopping here
there has been some trouble with some of the more
turbulent men on account of their not being allowed to
go on shore.

August 18. At 10 o'clock A. M. commenced chang-
ing baggage from the steamer to the cars which occupied
the time till about dark when the regiment went on
board the cars and run out about 20 miles to a station
called Wetaug, arriving a little before imdnight and
stopped till daylight. The delay is very tedious and
vexatious. We are going home and trains going to the
front have the right of way and so we are side-tracked
to await their passing.

August 20. Still dragging slowly along. Arrived
at Indianapolis, Ind., at 11 o'clock A. M. Eegi-
ment marched to the Soldiers' Home where a bountiful
collation was furnished by the people of the city. James
H. Short of Co. B, who was very sick when we left
Baton Rouge, was left here in the hospital, he not being
able to travel further.

August 21. Arrived at Gallion, Ohio, at 6 o'clock
A. M. Could get nothing to eat on arrival, being at
so early an hour. Eeached Crestline at 6.30 A. M.;
Cleveland at noon. Here we met with a very kind
reception from the citizens with a good dinner; also the
same repeated at Erie, Penn. Eeached Buffalo at 9.30
P. M. and received another splendid reception with
collation. Here we changed cars and started for
Albany at about midnight.

August 22. Arrived at Utica at 10.30 A. M. and

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 61

were tendered another fine collation spread at the side
of the track. Continued on for Albany where we
arrived about 4 o'clock P. M. ; went at once to the ferry
and cars en route for Boston at sunset. Made good time
and arrived at Springfield, Mass., at midnight. Here
a few minutes were allowed to obtain lunch for. which
we had to pay a good round price — the first which has
cost us a cent since leaving Cairo, and some considerable
comment has been made that Massachusetts should be
the first to ask her returning soldiers to pay for their
rations.

August 23. Arrived in Boston without further inci-
dents at 7.30 A. M. Marched to the Beach Street
Barracks where we were served a government ration
(which did not compare favorably with the food served
out to us by the citizens of the cities and towns through
which we have passed on our way home) after which
the men were furloughed till September 3, then to
report at our old Camp Lander at Wenham to be
mustered out.

September 3. Regiment reported at Camp Lander,
Wenham, and were mustered out. Casualties during
the campaign: Killed and died of wounds, 23;
wounded, 73; died of disease, 40; total, 136.

Maj.-Gen. Christopher C. Augur was in command of
the 1st Division, 19th Army Corps, to which the 48th
Massachusetts was attached and served its whole term
of service.

He was born in New York, but was appointed to
West Point from Michigan ; graduated 16th in the class
of 1843 (in which class Gen. Grant was the 21st).
He served in the Mexican war with credit, and at the
breaking out of the Rebellion was given a commission

€2 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Eegiment

of Brigadier-General of Yolunteers Nov. 13, 18C1 ; was
in command of a Division under Gen. Banks in the
Shenandoah Valley, and was wounded severely at Cedar
Mountain, receiving therefor a brevet of Colonel in the
Eegular Army ; was promoted to Major-General of Vol-
unteers, Aug. 9, 18fi2, and assigned to the command of
the left wing of the army before Port Hudson, retired
as full Brigadier-General in the Eegular Army in 1885.

Colonel Edward P. Chapin, who commanded the 1st
Brigade in Gen. Augur's Division, of which the 4fith
Massachusetts constituted a part, was the Colonel of the
116th New York. He was a very able and efficient
officer, and it was expected that he would rise to
advanced rank, but was killed in the desperate assault
on Port Hudson, May 27, 1863, and thus the army and
the country lost the services of a very promising officer.
He was succeeded in the command of the Brigade by
Col. Charles J. Paine of the 2d Louisiana Infantry,
who remained in command during the remainder of the
48th's term, and subsequently received the brevets of
Brigadier and Major-General of Volunteers.

The regiment, as finally made up, represented all
classes. It contained recruits from the best old New
England families in Essex and Middlesex, and from
emigrants recently from foreign countries. A good
example of the former was the late Samuel Hoar of
Concord (son of the late Judge E. Eockwood Hoar and
nephew of the late Senator George F. Hoar), who left
college to enlist as a private soldier in Company E, and
who served the full term, then re-entered and graduated
at Harvard College. He subsequently became a very
able lawyer and distinguished citizen. He died April
11th, 1904, aged 59 years.

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 63

Col. Eben F. Stone was a man of high character
and standing in the community in which he lived, and
that had much to do with his selection to command the
regiment. As time went on he failed somewhat as a
tactician, and the regiment was at a disadvantage on
this account, although he could have passed an excel-
lent examination in tactics. He was a brave officer and
well liked by the officers and soldiers of his regiment.
Colonel Stone, after the war, made an honorable record
in the civil service of the government. He served two
years in the State Senate and two terms in Congress.

Lieut. Col. O'Brien was regarded as a good officer
and brave to the degree of recklesisness.

Capt. Stanwood earned the promotion which he
received by a unanimous election as Lieutenant Colonel
by able, faithful, and patriotic services.

Dr. Yorick G. Hurd was one of thfi best surgeons of
the Civil War.i The death rate from sickness in our
regiment was less than in any other in the Department,
and that was due in great part to the faithful, consci-
entious, and untiring services of Dr. Hutd. He had not
a lazy bone in his body. After the war he rendered good
services in the military and civil service of the State.
He was medical director of the Division on the Staff of
General B. F. Butler, with rank of Colonel, from 1867
to 1876. He served two years in the State Senate. He
did for many years excellent service as Master of the
House of Correction and Superintendent of the Insane
Asylum at Ipswich.

Capt. Edgar J. Sherman (of the same family of
Roger Sherman and General William T. Sherman),
enlisted as a private soldier and was subsequently elected
Captain of Company F.

64 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

When the regiment advanced on Port Hudson he
was in the hospital sick of malarial fever. Hearing of
the affair of Plains Store, the Captain, somewhat re-
lieved of the fever but weak and emaciated, decided to
join the regiment. The surgeons tried to induce him to
remain a while longer, but not succeeding in this, gave
orders forbidding it. The next morning the Captain
put on his uniform, left the hospital, and took the early
steamer for Springfield Landing. There he was met
by the surgeons who called him a "walking ghost," and
ordered him back to Baton Rouge. The Captain said
he was not going on duty but only to visit the surgeon
of his regiment and he was allowed to proceed.

He was there several days, remaining with Dr. Hurd,
when he learned that there was to be a charge on the
enemy's works the next day. He at once determined
to go on duty. The Colonel and surgeon advised against
it, withholding their consent, the doctor saying, "Cap-
tain, if you go into this fight and are not killed, your
fever will come back and you will leave your bones in
Louisiana." Capt. Sherman made the long march that
night, with the aid of his soldiers, and led his two com-
panies which carried the colors in the charge next day.
When the charge did not succeed and the order came to
get off the field, the Captain finally reached the ravine on
the left, and was subsequently carried on a stretcher to
the rear. Dr. Hurd found him exhausted, with the
fever returning, and ordered him sent at once to the
hospital at Baton Eouge.

Just as the Captain was being put into the ambu-
lance he said to Dr. Hurd, 'It is too bad about poor
Captain Todd ; he went down right in front of me and

THE IRONCLAD ESSEX.

WHARF BOAT NATCHEZ,
At Baton Rouge, La., 1863,

Forty-eighth Massachtisetts Regiment 65
we went right on over his dead body." "Not by a d

sight !" said the Doctor. "I took an old broken French
bayonet three inches long out of his mouth and he is
all right."

Captain Sherman was seriously and dangerously ill
for some time^ and it was feared that the Doctor's
prophecy might become true, — ^that the Captain would
"leave his bones in Louisiana," but he recovered suf-
ficiently to return home with the regiment.

Officers and men were so much needed at the time
that Captain Sherman's disobedience of the order "not
to leave the hospital" was condoned, and upon the
recommendation of his superior officers, he was brevet-
ted Major "for gallant and meritorious services."

Major Sherman subsequently served in the military
and civil services of the State. In 1864, at the time
of General Early's raid on Washington, he raised a com-
pany for one hundred days and was elected its Captain,
and the company became Company K of the 6th
Regiment.

He served as Assistant Adjutant General, with the
rank of Colonel, and as Chief of StafE of the Division,
General B. F. Butler's, from 1867 to 1876. He served
fourteen years as District Attorney for Essex County,
five years as Attorney General, and now a Justice of the
Superior Court, where he has served since 1887.

Capt. J. Scott Todd was an excellent officer, always
faithful to every duty.

He was wounded and disabled in the charge on June
14. The enemy were short of ammunition and they used
broken iron. An old piece of a French bayonet three
inches long struck him in the mouth, knocking out his

66 Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment

upper and under front teeth, cutting his tongue in two,
its full length, and finally embedded itself in the roof
of his mouth. The blow was so severe that the Captain
lay on the field stunned and unconscious for a long time.
With assistance he finally reached the rear and the
doctor removed the iron and he was soon in condition
for duty.

After the war the Captain did honorable service in
the civil government of the State. He served two years
in the State Senate. He also served for many years as
a Trial Justice.

The following is taken from Hanson's History of the
Sixth Eegiment :

"Company K, Capt. Edgar J. Sherman, Lawrence.

"This company was a new one, raised mostly in
Lawrence upon the call of the Governor for five
thousand one hundred days men. Eecruiting com-
menced on the 11th day of July, the company was filled
on the 12th, went into camp on the 13th, was mustered
into service on the 14th and on the 15th and 16th the
men were clothed, armed and equipped throughout and
ready to move on the 17th — just six days after the first
movement was made.

"Captain Sherman, says the Lawrence American
(edited by Captain Merrill, who was at Port Hudson
in the Fourth Eegiment), under extraordinary difficul-
ties, raised a company of nine months men, enlisting
himself as a private, from which he was promoted to a
Captaincy, and, as we personally know, no braver or
more faithful officer has left our city. Always atten-
tive to the needs of his men, and even when weak and

Forty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment 67

emaciated with sickness, as we saw him at Port Hudson
(in the 48th Massachusetts) leaving, the hospital,
against the positive prohibition of the surgeon, to lead
his men in the assault. He was brevetted Major for
'gallant and meritorious services.' "

THE ROSTER

PREFACE TO THE ROSTER

The historian does not hold himself responsible for
the absolute accuracy of the regimental roster as errors
may have unavoidably crept in. But the roster was
carefully compiled from the records kept at the State
House and is a complete copy of such records.

THE HISTOKIAN.

DESERTIONS

The large number of desertions from some of the
companies is accounted for by the fact that the recruits
were brought to camp by agents of the cities who paid
bounties as soon as the recruits were mustered into the
United States service.

The officers of those companies objected to acceptiag
such recruits, prophesying that many of them would
desert, but the objections were overruled and the officers
were compelled to accept them.
